Full of Tangents, Take Three

Guess what guys…

It’s a tangent kinda night! You’ve already seen take one and take two…now it’s time for Full of Tangents, Take Three! Let’s DO this thang…

-Last week while out at a liquor store, I convinced Jay that I needed this bottle of wine; not because I heard great things about it…but because it only cost $3.99 and I was completely intrigued by that.

-I’m currently drinking a glass of my $3.99 wine as I type to you all. And if you’re wondering how good it is? Well, I’m drinking it…but I don’t know if I’ll buy it again. Winking smile

-Last week I also took on the daunting task of returning cans and bottles…alone. Jay owes me big time. By the time I was finished, I was $18.30 richer…

I didn’t know whether to be excited or embarrassed, but I think I was a little of both.

-Yesterday, I stopped at one of my all-time favorite stores to pick up some of the essentials…all of which I was able to purchase with gift cards. SCORE!

-Today, I have a guest post featured over on Colleen’s blog…make sure you head on over and check it out!

-Tonight, I have a conference call scheduled with the three fabulous ladies that I will be speaking with at the Healthy Living Summit. I can’t believe it’s only one week away…I’m beyond excited.

-Tomorrow, I have to make 7 dozen cupcakes. I think I already feel a sugar high happening.

-I have been visited by either the UPS man or the FedEx man every day so far this week…and this is only what’s been delivered between yesterday and today. I love visits from the UPS man. Smile

-One of those packages that came this week contained this…

Don’t you worry my friends, you’ll be hearing MUCH more about this soon.

-Despite having a “saucy” lunch today, Jay and I are having even more sauce for dinner. But this time it’s homemade…and it’s mine. And I really wish I had thought ahead to make these again for tonight…

-But it’s okay, because then we’ll be spending the later part of the evening losing brain cells while watching some Jersey Shore. Yeah, buddy!

Question for the Evening:

Tell me some of your tangents for today or this week!

I'm thinking I should start saving my cans and bottles and cash 'em in instead of letting the recycling guys take them...though tedious I would love any kind of extra moolah ;) Only tangent I can think of is my coworkers are just really being annoying to me this week, can't explain why, they just are!

I love it when the UPS man is by my house every day. I have weeks that I'm constantly getting packages and then lulls.. I hate the lulls.

You know I will be stalking the blog until I hear more about that popcorn! You should also do a garbage bread and sauce giveaway. Not sure how that would ship, but I'd be willing to risk it! ;)

I'm on a "if I'm keeping this job without hurting anyone, I'll be needing a lot of chocolate AND wine!!!!!!' kind of tangent.... Cheap wine isn't bad I'd give it a go once to see what it was all about! ....Healthy Living Summit!!!! :)

me and my friend laugh because we rely on Jersey Shore whenever we feel stressed or tired and need some 'hilarious entertainment' to pull us out of our sour mood! haha <3

Last night, as we headed home from a nice outing at happy hour, my beau and I both smiled and exclaimed IT'S JERSDAY!! Because really, other than a great reason for happy hour, Thursday's are known for just that. As the gang headed out for a night on the town in Florence, I couldn't help but recall my own tromping about that fine city for study abroad. That being said, when Deena (and others) stumbled over her (their) heels (multiple times), I was thankful I stuck to flats. Flat is one word I would NOT use to describe any of the chests of the cast members (except maybe Vinny) and hearing Deena scream "You like the boobs?" during the intro always makes me giggle. But not as hard as I giggle when Snookers snuggles in bed with that alligator, Crocodilly. Oh JS Cast... you complete me.

Haha those bargain bottles are always hit or miss! I am in love with zBars - just got a whole box of the blueberry - they are like healthy blueberry muffins, but almost better! And my roommate convinced me to watch episodes 1 & 2 of Jersey Shore...not a fan, I just can't get over the outragiousness of them all!

Are those Carmel Pretzel cupcakes? They look divine. I might have to bake Sunday now! As for my tangents: I didn't like the last song on the radio for an Office Dance Party I really want to eat a cookie that's on my desk, but I told my boyfriend I'd bring them home for him. I don't know why my eye is twitching, but it's annoying. I wish my friend would move back to ALB from LI.

I spent tonight drinking a few beers and laughing my ass off at Jersey Shore. I swear I could be Deena, I'm so clumsy and even more so when I drink. I died every time she fell over hahahaha :)
